  3. Ann Talman: Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile


“An evening of theater that is personal, intimate, authentic, and incredibly funny…Being in the room with Talman and hearing her talk in Taylor's voice was akin to being in the room with Elizabeth Taylor herself.” - Stephen Mosher, BroadwayWorld


Award winning, four-time Broadway veteran, Ann Talman (The Women, Some Americans Abroad, The House of Blue Leaves, The Little Foxes) returns to 54 Below with a special encore engagement! 


Talman portrayed Elizabeth Taylor’s daughter on Broadway in The Little Foxes, beginning their lifelong friendship that lasted for the rest of Taylor’s life. The Shadow of Her Smile is an evening of story and song about Ann and Elizabeth’s amazing bond, filled with hilarious and touching stories that only Ann can tell, and woven with classic Broadway and Great American Songbook gems. 


The show is directed by Bistro and MAC Award winner Lina Koutrakos with musical direction by multi-award-winning Alex Rybeck, a 54 Below favorite.


“Talman is nothing short of amazing in telling her own tale. This is a master class in acting.” –BroadwayWorld
